HILTON HEAD, S.C. — In what has become a common theme this spring season for the Gardner-Webb women’s golf team, the Runnin’ Bulldogs had their two-day tournament this week shortened to one round of play due to rain.

GWU took ninth at the Low Country Intercollegiate hosted by Wofford College at the par-72, 2,991-yard South Course at the Moss Creek Golf Club.

Because heavy rainfall and inclement weather washed out the first round of play on Sunday, the 16-team field played a one-day, 18-hole event on Monday. The Runnin’ Bulldogs totaled a combined team score of 54-over 342.

GWU senior Meghan Allum was the top performer for the Runnin’ Bulldogs for the second straight tournament, as she carded a 9-over 81.

Fellow seniors Hannah Hellyer and Sammy Vass turned in rounds of 13-over 85 and 14-over 86, respectively, to finish in ties for 27th and 30th.

Playing as an individual, freshman Mary Katherine Donovan recorded a round of 19-over 91 to tie for 56th.

Western Carolina won the event at 40-over 328.

Gardner-Webb will have one final event before the 2013 Big South Women’s Golf Championships on April 14-16, as the lady golfers will compete at the Mimosa Hills Intercollegiate hosted by Appalachian State in Morganton on April 1-2.

GWU tennis delayed — Gardner-Webb’s men’s tennis match versus Presbyterian, originally scheduled for Monday, has been moved back to Tuesday due to windy conditions above ITA regulations.

Both teams are riding hot streaks of late. GWU has won eight of its last 10 matches and is coming off a 6-1 win over Liberty on Saturday. Presbyterian, coming off a 4-3 loss to Coastal Carolina, had won 10 straight prior to facing the Chanticleers.

GWU men’s tennis made another scheduling change on Monday, cancelling the non-conference match with UNC Greensboro originally scheduled for Tuesday.
